I went with Purdue as well. I liked Curry, but I only got to listen to him during wins. You guys were ragging on him pretty hard in the more recent games he did work on. Purdue is a good straight man for Steve Martin, that wild and craaaaazy guy.

I also voted for Purdue. I really thought he was good. Insiteful, not an annoying voice, called Steve out on some of his bad jokes. Sign him up.

I think that Big Willy and the Baby Maker would be a good team.

Get rid of the wild and craaaaazy guy.

steph will always be #1 on my list.

perdue was good though. very informative. my only beef will him was he was a bit of a nag. he seemed to criticize every missed possession and every opponent score. i dont mind a good nag, like hubie brown, but you cant do it all the time or else it gets annoying. will would be my second choice. i also though alaa was decent.

I want Jerry V. back in Charlotte. I hate he went to New Orleans when the Hornets left. Loved his radio talk show.

Make it happen.

Anyone ever listen to the 'Cats on the radio? That guy is good play by play guy. I'd be fine w/ him replacing Steve.

Purdue was the best by a wide margin to me. We need to get rid of Martin but only after next year. I think I deserve a year of Purdue calling him out for all of his dumb comments and mistakes to make up for all the years of horrible broadcasting he's brought us. (Including the Hornet years)

Jerry V. is a Shinn buttkisser who applauded the move to New Orleans and said very bad things about Charlotte when he and the team left. No thanks, he can stay in New Orleans.

What was wrong with G-Man? I thought he was better than Purdue.

The girls are the worst.
I don't think they should get any of them because you need somebody who explains the game and knows it better then us like Jeff Van Gundy and Hubie Brown and the Zar.
I would like to get the Zar if he is available.
By the way how great is Van Gundy is the broadcast booth. I have never heard him say anything wrong ever and he has made unrealistic unbelievable predictions that always come true.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
